The week was in honour of Ebbe Westergren, the founding father of the Time Travel method, Senior Curator at Kalmar county museum and Honorary President of Bridging Ages.

There were also university lectures, workshop on international collaboration between schools, a public program and several informal gatherings in the week. The week in February in Kalmar, Sweden was surrounded by a heavy snowstorm covering the ground with half a meter of snow, which made the experience magical and exotic.

There were slogans like: Power to the people! Education to the people! Culture to the people! Museum, Heritage and Society were tied closer together. Crucial years in the history of the Time Travel method 1. The start in the 1980s The Time Travel method started in the mid 1980s in the Kalmar region, Sweden. Kalmar county museum supported the schools in implementing the curriculum, using local historical sites and stories. Ebbe Westergren in 1971 2. In 1997 the Kalmarunion, 600 years, was celebrated with hundreds of historical events and Time Travels in the Kalmar region. In the year 2000 Kalmar county museum got a National Commission for three years from the Swedish government, to spread the Time Travel method all over Sweden. Schools, museums and local communities were involved. The Time Travel team at Kalmar county museum grew bigger. The first university courses on the Time Travel method were held in Kalmar. Two buses and museum staff ready for Time Travel events. 3. In 1999 Kalmar county museum were invited to go abroad with the Time Travel method to Ostrobotnia, Finland and to Minnesota, USA. This was the start of international cooperation and the spread of the Time Travel method to many countries: to the Åland Islands, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Turkey… 4. In 2004 Bridging Ages was formed at an international seminar in Vimmerby, Kalmar county, Sweden. Eight countries decided to create a network with the office at Kalmar county museum. In 2007 Bridging Ages was made into a formal organization. Since then Bridging Ages has grown. There are There are Bridging Ages groups in more than 20 countries. international conferences every year and national chapters in several countries. 5. When Kalmar county museum was invited to South Africa 2006, the Time Travel method gradually changed. Key questions and safe spaces for reflections in the events were introduced. Focus became more and more on contemporary issues. There was a paradigm shift from learning about history to learning something of today, through history. In an expert seminar in Pretoria 2016, the Bridging Ages countries agreed on the definitions, principles, process and event of the Time Travel method. Reflection, together with others, is the focal point of a Time Travel event.

The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the author(s) and dc not necessarily coincide with those of the SKI. The geological maps in this report are published with permission from the Geological Survey of Sweden. SI MM ARV ! r.:s study comprises a compilation of data from two tectonic regions in southeastern Sweden and a presentation of geological factors judged to be of importance for the regional- scale suing or a high level nuclear waste repository.The study areas were selected to complement earlier investigations in that part of Sweden and to allow for an analysis of the transition zone between the Svecofennian subprovince and the Transcandinavian Igneous Be!: i TIB). The study started with a literature survey and map studies. Reconaissance work of the regions (Norrköping - Västervik and Oskarshamn - Västervik) was initially done to get an overall picture of the bedrock geology. Finally a field excursion was carried out in order to iiiustrate geological and structural characteristics of the areas. Experiences from earlier studies in Swedish underground constructions have to some extent been used as a basis for the conclusions in the report.

Final reports describing the results of the six feasibility studies in Osthammar, Nykoping, Oskarshamn, Tierp, Alv- karleby and Hultsfred were submitted during the autumn and winter of 2000/2001. With this as a basis, the siting work can now proceed to the next phase - site investigations. In this stage, investigations that include test drilling will be conducted on at least two sites. In December 2000, SKB published the report "Integrated account of method, site selec- tion and programme prior to the site investigation phase," in which SKB stipulates where they want to conduct site investigations and how they will be carried out. The report is being reviewed by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate during the first half of 2001. Before the site investigations can be initiated, the go-ahead is required from the national safety authorities, the Government, and concerned municipalities and landowners. SKB projects that the it will be possible to commence the site investigations in 2002.

    Empirical, methodological and theoretical reflections Empirical, methodological and theoretical Industries Local Development and Creative Gotland University Press 9 The world is becoming increasingly more globalised. That is a big and subtle force often demanding national and local harmonisation. Traditional industrial sectors moves from the western hemisphere to other parts of the world. The need for future oriented, explorative Editors and innovative ideas and studies is immanent. In Sweden and other modern societies there is often a strong belief in reform, that it is Conny Pettersson & Dorit Christensen possible to change societal structures, processes and ideologies from above by introducing new ideas and financing R & D. This book presents a wide range of approaches to the study of local development and creative industries. Seven authors’ presents a Local Development volume organised in three parts. Part I offers empirical studies on a growing experience economy, and also heritage, design and Factor and 10 as a resource for development. Part II offers a methodological study on narrative as a force for company development.

Part III covers current conceptual and 9 Gotland University Press theoretical reflections on localisation, regionalisation and globalisation, neo-institutionalism and symbolic aspects of policy.
